REVIEW – I used to think that when you went for a hike, any comfortable backpack would do. That is, until I went on a longer, more intense day trip with a normal backpack. My shoulders were sore and my back was covered in sweat. Since then, I’ve been using backpacks made for hikes, and …

REVIEW – If you’re a golfer, you know the horror of trying to put on a crinkly, dry, cracked golf glove. How do they get this way? When you golf, your hand sweats, and that golf glove absorbs it, allowing you to keep that correct grip and par the hole. After your round, you crush …

REVIEW – As I’ve mentioned before, I live in a neighborhood more rural than urban, where there aren’t many streetlights.

REVIEW – Lighting can really set off a house. Nice exterior lighting washing up or down a wall or highlighting a landscaping feature adds that wow factor.

REVIEW – MagSafe charging for iPhone has been out for a while now and it works really well. Apple’s charger is pretty slim, packs easily for travel and all but guarantees location on your phone when it’s time to charge. There’s lots of options out there when you’d rather have a dock, but they typically …
